12 12. Awakening of Holy Prayer

If Tiara Rose and Aquasteed vowed to love each other, the light poured out of the castle as if to bless it.

But that light, which is unidentified, will soon be on alert.

The knight, who had immediately refrained, moves forward to protect the two. Elliot then returns to the garden with Filine as well.

"What is this...!?"

"Dear Tiara Rose!

I understood that everyone was instantly a magical light. - but I have never heard of such a activation phenomenon.

Aquasteed hugs himself to protect Tiara Rose.

It could be an enemy. I can't act rashly.

- Is this the holy prayer the heroine has!?

"I'm fine. I'll protect Tiara."

"Dear Aqua......!

If Tiara Rose had opened her eyes to surprise, she would have thought she was scared. Aquasteed caresses gently and opens his mouth gently when he is sure to protect it.

But Tiara Rose knew what this light was.

Holy prayer.

This is a very rare magic that only one person in this world can use -.

This magic, with its absolute power of purification, was set to allow the heroine of the Lapis Lazuli Ring to use its power.

- I was losing it. It was in the prayers and explanations of a clean maiden, and I just thought heroin was something I couldn't use very well because I didn't use it.

But there's no way you can't use it if it's the way the game is.

In the game, he had awakened that power shortly after the plea event. But how did you wake up now? Tiara Rose thinks and leads one conclusion.

I was wondering if Miss Villain Warrant (herself) would let that happen. If it was meant to be, the power of heroin should be awake. However, the timing of Tiara Rose's actions, the villain's maid, was missed.

Didn't you wake up with an inoperable load on your body and an excessive production overflowing from the castle full of blinding light?

…………

In the game, awakened to the power of holy prayer, the heroine gives the title of Lapis from the country.

This power, which can purify bad things, gently envelops the country itself just by having it... protect it from bad things. For this reason, in the Lapis Lazuli kingdom, historical magic holders were given the title of Lapis, although there was only a limitation on their own.

If we are to think as usual, - there should be no exceptions.

"... the light seems to have subsided."

"Right. Please wait here, Master Aquasteed, as I will see."

He grinds his nerves too much to explore the signs around him, and Elliot leaves the garden to confirm.

I had some concerns about leaving my husband, but I decided this would be urgent. Plus, sometimes there are knights, but Aquasteed is stronger than that. That made me feel safe.

"Tiara, don't worry. Soon Elliot will be back with information."

"That's right. Don't worry, Mr. Tiara Rose, wait with Mr. Aquasteed."

Aquasteed and Filine try to calm down Tiara Rose, who looks anxious. But Tiara Rose was calm.

The power of holy prayer is what every nation wants. Of course what the Lapis Lazuli kingdom wants, even the Marine Forest kingdom should want enough to get its hands out of its throat.

Magic holders often marry the royalty of the country in which they stay.

- What if Master Aqua craves the power of heroin?

Oh, no way. Impossible, Tiara Rose's brain gives the answer. But what if the scenario moves like a game...?

At a time when the first part is almost over. What if the game is moving to part two?

When you think about it, your senses strike Tiara Rose.

It is the light of holy prayer. And yes, it's easy to tell Aquasteed. But how Aquasteed would react was scarier than anything for Tiara Rose.

…………

"... it's okay, don't worry"

Unconsciously, Tiara Rose grabs Aquasteed's clothes. Aquasteed thinks he saw the trembling Tiara Rose and was afraid of the light he might not have gotten good at.

"It's okay," he said again and again, stroking Tiara Rose's back to calm her down.

Then came a knight serving King Alexander directly to tell him what was going on.

Salute Aquasteed and state the situation immediately.

"Excuse me. It's about this light, but it's about light due to a glitch in the magic conductor. There is nothing wrong with the status quo, but Dear Tiara Rose said that you should return once after the examination of the castle's magic guide."

"... I see. Got it."

Briefly communicating the status quo, the knight followed the scene.

Aquasteed seems to be thinking something, but Tiara Rose doesn't even know what he's thinking.

The knight's report must be a lie. Tiara Rose can be sure of that, but there's no reason to just step in.

"It was a glitch in the magic guide, wasn't it? I'm glad it didn't matter."

Aquasteed instructs Filine to prepare a carriage to relieve herself.

"Tiara, I'll send you back to the mansion."

"... Yes. Okay."

- Truth is, I don't want to go home.

But I can't talk about that. I want to see with my own eyes how the game goes. Tiara Rose thinks so, but we have to accept that it was reported as a glitch in the magic guide.

Has the king so judged, or instructed someone with power...... Tiara Rose never thought what she didn't know was so terrible.

But if you wish.

- May Aqua not take the hand of heroin...

◇ ◇ ◇

Aquasteed sent Tiara Rose back to her own room in the castle being given.

But there, Elliot's not here yet.

…… You're too late. "

Inside the castle, calm is restored, and most have already returned to their usual state of affairs.

There's only one reason why Elliot won't come back in the middle of that. That all the information on the knight who came earlier to report to Aquasteed is a lie.

Otherwise, there's no way the good Elliot will ever come back. Yeah, see, Elliot's good at intelligence. So much so that I was on a completely intelligence-only mission for a while.

- Something serious happened, huh?

I don't know. But Aquasteed, the king prince of the neighboring country, can't walk in the castle to find out for himself. Because if you do poorly, it can develop into something like war.

It's like a graduation party, not like prince to prince bullshit. If anything, King Alexander will also take a tough turn.

"Do we have to wait?"

No choice, Aquasteed reaches for the paperwork he planned to do after tomorrow.

Eighty-nine, Elliot will be back with some information. Given that, it is necessary to ensure that we have a lot of free time after tomorrow.

Then I head to my desk for a while and glance at the paperwork.

Sometimes I think back to Tiara Rose earlier. Was it my first mouthful, I've moistened my eyes a little and looked up at Aquasteed.

As much as I want to compliment myself for not pushing me down like that, Aquasteed thinks.

Thinking we can stay together forever from now on means we can work faster.

Concon con.

"... in"

The door is knocked unexpectedly. If Aquasteed looks at the clock, it fits around the time that it's past the evening.

As usual, a female officer brought a meal, so I give instructions to prepare it.

Finish and clean up a stretch of work while a female officer prepares a meal with a familiar hand. If Aquasteed finishes his meal as it is, it will be an evening in no time.

Contains a light wine prepared by a woman in her mouth and wonders what's wrong. I thought so, but there goes the sound of a knock telling me Elliot's back in the room.

If you give "in" instructions immediately, Elliot looks tired.

"I'm home now, Master Aquasteed"

"Oh. It was late - what happened?

"... Yes. Surprisingly, a girl named Akali, who was beside His Highness Haltnights at the graduation party, said she had awakened her holy prayer."

……!!

Aquasteed was stunned by the words Elliot had told him.

And whoever can use the holy prayer of his predecessors, he turns his thoughts about how he was.

- Sure, a few years ago, you were informed he was dead.

If so, it is not surprising that a new and modern holy prayer has emerged at this stage. But more importantly, I didn't know that was the acari -.

Aquasteed sighed loudly and I think it was something that got into trouble.

"A maiden who can use holy prayer, huh? - I want it."

"Right. But King Alexander won't let it go."

"- Even if it could have been a war, you wouldn't let it go."

Aquasteed recalls that when it comes to one of the graduation parties, you were talking about not making Halt Knights king.

I don't know what decision King Alexander will make, but I can predict much.

"I have a report at my place that it was a malaise in the magic conductor. King Alexander will not speak out about holy prayer until a paragraph is made. It's proof that Elliot's taking so long to get this far."

"Right. - Perhaps you will make me marry His Highness Haltnights. I had declared that I would not do it to the king, so would it take the form of a second prince, His Highness Sirius, as king and supporter?"

Nodding at Elliot's words, Aquasteed mutters, "That's troublesome."

As for the school's graduation party, King Alexander also made apologies and butt wipes for what Haltnites did, but what he interpreted was what the child did. Worst case scenario, I can also cut it off.

But it will give a serious response when it comes to those in possession of holy prayers. Like the other day, no sweet words are tough.

"The benefit of having those who can use holy prayer is immense. If you get it, the country will be at peace."

"... with my power, I can intervene. - But you have a lot of disadvantages."

"Cons, is it"

If Aquasteed says so while thinking, Elliot reacts happily.

Faithfully understanding his husband's words, Elliot simulates in his brain how to move in the future. Since my husband told me to move, it's too late.

"Of course, the benefits are enormous. If we could have holy prayers, our country would flourish even more"

…………

In Aquasteed's brain, calculations about the future are made at high speeds. I conceived for a few minutes and then quietly read the name of my own squire.

"Whatever you say, Master Aquasteed."

Immediately replying to the acknowledgement, Elliot once again erased his signs into the darkness of the night.
